Is the the central repository you're looking for?http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php

I know about vim scripts, I just don't think the process is as smooth as sublime's package control

Although not as smooth as Pathogen, installing most vim scripts is as easy as extracting the download into your .vim directory.
